Is it normal to be bitter about this?

I get so bitter about all my friends having babies, and cant help but think "why do they get to? They arent married, they werent planning it, it was just a suprise! So when they find out that they are pregnant its all they talk about and suddenly have symptoms that werent there before, and when the baby is born its non stop blabbing about their baby and constant pics and updates about spit up and poop! Part of me is annoyed at how they wont shut the heck up, part of me is angry and bitter because of my struggle with getting pregnant, and then part of me wants to scream because oh how they think they just know everything about children now and I have no right to say anything about the subject because what would their childless friend know?! I wanna be happy for them, but I feel so alienated and frustrated with their sudden and unexpected especially since not one of them is married and trying to concieve pregnancies, and how they make me feel about it. Its so hard to stay friends even with ur best friend once they have a baby becuase most of them change and not in a good way. Is it normal to be so bitter about all this, or am I just terrible to feel this way? I just hope once I finally have a baby that I dont lose myself, because its so important to me to not act like that kind of person and become a hypocrite.

    Think about this for a second.

    Do you really want a kid?
    Or do you just want one to fit in?

    Yeah i know what you mean. I'm a guy, but I have seen those chicks who showoff their kids.. and then they would go out on a funny night and get drunk as hell, and leave the baby at the grandparent's house.

    All they talk about is their children.. but trust me, they will regret such a stupid decision when their child starts wondering about being brought up in a healthy environment with a mom and a dad, and full-siblings.

    I don't know where you're from, but I'm not from America, but when I came here 3 years ago, I was surprised by the number of teen moms. I feel so bad for their children. The baby isn't always going to be a baby.

    When you have your first baby life WILL change for you.
    Not only that you'll likely tell everyone about silly things like changing dirty nappies, this is what a NORMAL Mom will do.

    Be happy for them, they are where you are striving to be.
